If Farrell clinches the role, he will play a wounded Yankee soldier seeking safe haven in a Southern all-girls boarding school during the Civil War, where he cons his way into the women’s hearts.

Farrell would be joined by Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning, who have all already signed on to the project, which Coppola is writing and directing. This will be the first time Farrell and Kidman work with the Academy Award-winning filmmaker.
